A panel of judges will choose the best video among the student entries to win the grand prize that includes the Adobe® Creative Suite 6® Master Collection (valued at $3,300), and more! If students enter a video before January 31, 2014, they will be entered into an early drawing for a copy of Adobe® Photoshop 6.

If I Get Home for Supper was submitted by contestant, Justin Seligman, a Bay Area teacher. Using footage from The Prelinger Archives and an original tune with him featured as the vocalist, Mr. Seligman was able to create a mashup with a unique perspective on San Francisco Bay that has never been seen before. The original tune by the Bay Area band, Swine Flu Pandemic, features Justin Seligman on vocals, Johnson on resonator guitar, Tren Kauzer on Fender Rhodes 73, Ken Ingersoll on drums, and Don Dupont on rhythm guitar.
